Extramitochondrial OPA1 and adrenocortical function [PDF]
We have previously described that silencing of the mitochondrial protein OPA1 enhances mitochondrial 27 Ca2+ signaling and aldosterone production in H295R adrenocortical cells.

Impairment of adrenocortical function associated with increased plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 6 concentrations in African trypanosomiasis [PDF]
African sleeping sickness (SS) is a severe, potentially lethal parasitic disease. The treatments of choice are the antiparasitic agents suramin, which is adrenotoxic, and/or melarsoprol. We evaluated the functional integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-

In children and adolescents, neuroblastoma (NBL), pheochromocytoma (PCC), and adrenocortical tumors (ACT) can arise from the adrenal gland. It may be difficult to distinguish between these three entities including associated extra-adrenal tumors ...

Tumor DNA Methylation Profiling Is a Robust and Independent Prognostic Marker for Pediatric Patients With Adrenocortical Tumors [PDF]
Abstract Pediatric adrenocortical tumors (pACTs) display complex genomic background and lack robust prognostic biomarkers. However, pACT methylation profiling was recently associated with patient prognosis. In order to evaluate whether tumor DNA methylation is associated with patient prognosis, we studied a Brazilian cohort of pACT in ...

Heterosexual precocity: rare manifestation of virilizing adrenocortical oncocytoma
Adrenocortical oncocytomas are extremely rare, and most of the tumors are benign and nonfunctioning. To our knowledge, only 30 cases have been reported in English published studies, and most patients are 40 to 60 years of age.

Embolization in an adrenocortical carcinoma as palliative therapy [PDF]
Background: With an annual incidence of 0.2% of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants, adrenocortical carcinoma is rare. In advanced tumor only palliative treatment modalities are practicable. Because of scarcity of the tumor, standard treatment has not been

Silencing mutated β-catenin inhibits cell proliferation and stimulates apoptosis in the adrenocortical cancer cell line H295R [PDF]
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and highly aggressive endocrine neoplasm, with limited therapeutic options. Activating β-catenin somatic mutations are found in ACC and have been associated with a poor clinical outcome. In fact, activation of the

Clonal Composition of Human Adrenocortical Neoplasms [PDF]
The mechanisms of tumorigenesis of adrenocortical neoplasms are still not understood. Tumor formation may be the result of spontaneous transformation of adrenocortical cells by somatic mutations.
